Reading Detailed Bedrock Geology Maps - Figure 2

section of bedrock geology map, solid line indicates the most accurate location, dashed line is approximate, dotted line is inferred

Figure 2. A portion of the bedrock geology map of the Limington quadrangle. Each symbol shown on the map represents an observation at a bedrock outcrop. The more observations in an area, the more accurate the position of the geologic contact. In this example, the type of line representing the contact also indicates accuracy: dotted = inferred; dashed = approximately located; and solid = well located.
